Description
This is a fraud case. The complaint alleged generally that the defendants represented to the plaintiff that the property the
plaintiff purchased was located on a public road, that the property was suitable for the placement of a septic tank, and that
the real estate located between the driveway of the property and Griggs Road would be deeded to the plaintiff by the defendants
upon the sale of the property owned across the road by the defendants. The plaintiff purchased the house and lot from the
defendants and later discovered that the property would not support a standard septic tank system. The plaintiff also discovered
that most of the front yard he had purchased was subject to a right-of-way owned by the county. The case was submitted to
the jury on the plaintiff's fraud and misrepresentation claims. The jury returned a verdict of $70,000 compensatory damages
and $100,000 punitive damages. The trial court denied all post-trial motions, and the defendants have appealed. Facts The plaintiff, Finley, testified that he inquired about the property at issue in this case after seeing a sign advertising
a lot for sale. He contacted the owners of the lot, a husband and wife, Wanda and Jerry Griggs, and arranged to look at certain
property owned by them.
